It earned that reputation after this house's owners, industrialist and philanthropist J. Irwin Miller and his wife, Xenia Simons Miller, paid prominent architects' commissions on public buildings throughout the city in order to infuse Columbus with fresh, modern art and architecture. Following the death of Xenia Miller in 2008, the family donated the house and gardens to the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
